Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor!
He addressed both of my issues, and was very encouraging. He offered me a few different options for treatment. I had a cortisone shot in my hip, and it didn't hurt! I was also pleased with him when he replaced my knee in 2011.

Could care less
Was obvious you bother him if you ask any question. Which by the way even after MRI was met with 'IDK'. With lack of confidence in this 'professional' I sought a second opinion. So happy I did!

My first appointment with Dr. Jercinovich was on April 12, 2022. He spent 5-minutes with me and said I likely had "IT band" syndrome. Wrong diagnosis. I then went again on Sept 13, 2022 after doing my own desperate research and told Dr. J. I believed I had a "torn labrum." He acted as if I was offending him with my suggestion. After trying to convince him to please allow for an MRI rather than physical therapy (which is what he was suggesting), he agreed on the MRI. After three follow up calls to them, the MRI referral never made it properly so a month later, I still haven’t had an MRI. Imaging tells me they can’t schedule me because after repeated attempts, dr. Jercinovich’s office has not sent over the correct referral codes. I’ve asked my PCP to PLEASE refer me to another ortho specialist but was told because he’s contracted with my insurance, they can’t. I will be letting my insurance know about this Dr. and hopefully something will be done.

To any poor souls who gets Igor Jercinovich. (I won’t even classify as a doctor) It’s crazy how a doctor can tell you your X-rays look fine, without looking at them, literally. I sat there and stared at them seeing if he was even going to hold them to light.... nope. Giving me a go back date to work when he had no idea what my job entailed and what I fully do..Which is fully physical and especially with my hands. His math is a little poor for a doctor considering the changes to initial, and seemingly universal, healing time of 6-8 weeks for “integrated ligament” sprain on right hand- which he diagnosed. But I carefully, and obviously pointed that one out and managed to get 2 weeks time to heal. And all of this is him just guessing. No MRI option, no ultrasound. He wanted me out of that door. He’s one of the grossest, incompetent “doctors” I have ever met with. Seriously, change doctors if he’s yours. This rabbit hole only goes deeper. I was sent to him by my work....

Dr. Jercinovich was careless we he replaced my hip. I am permanently damaged as I have foot drop (numb foot) and my operative leg is now 1/2 inch shorter than the other. He doesn't even have the decency to apologize. I deeply regret being referred to him. I am in worse condition than before he operated. Even more disheartening was to see how local orthopedic surgeons stick together and lie to cover errors. I hope to never need any type of surgery again. But if I do I will certainly read the reviews before choosing a doctor.

Excellent surgeon! Professional and to the point. My son had ACL reconstruction and we were all extremely pleased. Dr. Jercinovich is very talented, and extremely experienced. Never once doubted his expertise.

Very poor bedside manner. I came in for answers about a laberal tear, and left crying because the doctor basically tossed me out with an nsaid I couldn't take due to a heart condition and said "good luck finding someone who can help you". I wouldn't waste my time or money.

Go to San Diego, Hoag in Irvine or Eisenhower in Rancho Mirage instead. . .you'll thank yourself. It has nothing to do with how well the provider listens or explains, but everything to do with outcomes, which aren't a choice here.

Dr. Misdiagnosed my condition. The office staff is the worst of the worst you will get better service at the DMV. Do not go to this office you will regret it.

My experience was a horrible one. I had a trimalleor fracture of the right ankle. After my 1St surgery I was experiencing horrible pain and swelling and was told by Dr. Jercinovich it was all normal 4 months later I could not walk and he said I tweaked it I ended up going to the ER and was admitted come to find out I had a severe infection of my hardware and that my WBC was 19000 I had to have emergency surgery to remove all hardware. Dr. Jercinovich did it but left a screw in. I now have Arthri
